<p>I have to decide between:
Un. Southern Cal Biomed/Electrical Engineering
UMich Ann Harbor Elect Eng.
UTAustin Elect. Eng. (I live in Austin)</p>
<p>Any suggestions?</p>
<p>By great schools I thought you meant Harvard, Yale, etc.</p>
<p>Those schools are comparable - UT has the number 11 electrical engineering program in the nation. Definitely go to UT... much cheaper with a really great program.</p>
<p>UT is pretty dam good. Michigan does have 5th best EE in nation, but im sure a 6 spot difference isn't really anything, and usnews bases its criteria on a lot of useless stuff.</p>
<p>SoCal is supposed to be really good. People shouldn't rule out schools as not being "great" just because they're not in the ivy league.</p>
<p>I suggest you take a visit to all 3 and find which school you'd like to be at for 4 years</p>
<p>Well, living in Austin, I'm sure you know a lot about the area, so there's that. Maybe you want to leave home for college?</p>
<p>I would like to live in cal, only thing is I don't want to be so far away as to not be able to visit my brother often. Basically wherever the college is I will go. Actually, now I'm thinking I will get a lot of aid from usc and not michigan, so I pretty much have to decide between those two schools, unless mich matches what usc will, which is unlikely. My only worry is that if I do choose Viterbi and come back to Texas, that Viterbi won't be as widely recognized as UT and that I won't get as good a job in Texas.</p>
<p>By "those two" I meant UT Austin and USC</p>
